Site: Vineyards planted in 1995 in Rivalta (La Morra). 250 meters above sea level with west-southwest exposure. Soils: medium-textured loose topsoil and limestone with hard subterranean marl layers. Manual harvest in September.

Fermentation and Aging: Fermented for 10 days at controlled temperature in stainless steel with natural yeasts. Aged in stainless steel for 3 months on fine lees, then for an additional 3 months in the bottle.
Notes: Nascetta is a native, aromatic grape variety of the Barolo region. This wine expresses floral aromas reminiscent of rose and lychees, and the palate is fresh and delicate, finishing on a citrus note. Excellent as an aperitif, ideal with hors d’oeuvres and a pleasant accompaniment to first courses dressed with light sauces and main courses of fish and shellfish. Good aging capacity; wait a couple of years before savoring this wine!
